A Lonsdale Belt -With Tancy Lee
By CHARLES BARNETT
In one Liverpool fight, Jimmy Wildo almost came to grief. He had beaten almost every flyweight contender, so Major Wilson suggested a match with the ban tam belt winner, Tommy Noble. Teddy Lewis offered no objection, I have indicated that Wilde did not care how often he fought-in his booth days he had several con- tests in a week-but Noble, after all, had gained Championship laurels in a heavier class, and I was amazed to hear that Jimmy had ignored the usual preparation and had entered the ring without doing any training,
His sluggishness was apparent. to anyone who like myself had seen the large majority of his fights and during one of the early rounds he ran into a hard right which landed him on the floor. It was a long count and when he scrambled to his feet again instinct alone caused him to fall into a clinch.
